Self-confidence

I read an article of news “A Crisis of Confidence for Masters of the Universe” today. It introduces many elites of Wall Street are suffering losing self-confidence because of financial crisis. In this article, the writer also discusses about the difference between men and women by the influence of crisis. It triggered my interests to talk about self- confidence. In a nutshell, self-confidence is an expression of experiencing several successes. It would cultivate other merits such as leadership, determination. Otherwise, it also can develop to be arrogant.

I concerned that many people would experience a process from self-doubt to self-confidence. The only difference between them is early or late to overcome it. When I was a student, I nearly lost all of my self-confidence because my study is terrible. On contrast, my classmates who could get high scores had much self-confidence in the school. They could be a leader only because they were good at studying. It gave them an opportunity to build their self- confidence earlier than students who were not good at studying. It also cultivated their sense of leadership. After we graduated, we confronted another obstacle; finding a good job and standing up in the society. Some grinds couldn’t catch up the style of society, or maybe only because they weren’t lucky, jobs didn’t open the door to them. They should assess themselves from self- doubt. Self- doubt or self-confidence is influenced by the environment. However, if we experience several times from down to up, it can help us enhance our determination and perseverance. Owning a positive heart is the point.

Self-confidence is an important character, but it also would change to be arrogant. Elites worked in Wall Street are examples. They gained more and more money successfully, it made them self-esteem, and they consider they can control everything in the world. I believe that as a professional financial worker, it’s impossible for them to ignore the risk behind their operation. No mention that several years ago, several influential persons like Buffet had cautioned it. Money indicates people from self- confidence to arrogant. Today, confronting with the financial crisis, they are sick. Although they would be good like the economy would be good too, I feel worry about whether they can be educated from its crisis.

Definitely, self-confidence is vital for people to achieve accomplishments. Appropriate self-confidence is necessity for us to fight for, and it’s not easy to gain. Yes, it’s easy to build self-confidence when we get success, but how can we build it if we face one and one failures? No one can be self-confidence without experience of success. Courage is the precondition of self- confidence. After we gain what we desired once, keeping a peace heart can help us keep self-confidence.
